Chapter 451 Hiring a Snow Shovel Team
"It's nothing serious. My name is Lei Gang. I formed a snow shoveling team. It's a formal one, officially approved. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."
"Well, my snow shovel team can help you transport the snow shoveled out of your yard, and can also help you clear the snow outside the fence."
"I know you have business dealings with the base, so doesn't this car have to go in and out frequently?"
"Won't this much snow delay your business?"
Lei Gang had moved to this area a while ago, and he knew that everyone living in this house had sufficient points.
The other party has business dealings with the base shopping mall and usually sells some tomatoes to people around.
But one thing is that even when selling tomatoes, you cannot enter their yard and can only pass them out through the gaps.
So Lei Gang never thought of taking on the job of shoveling snow in this family's yard, but doesn't the snow have to be shoveled out?
It would be a waste of time if they transported it themselves.
When he heard the other party's name, Lei Minghu didn't expect that he was a relative.
He was about to refuse, saying that they had nothing to do on weekdays and could clean up themselves, when he saw Han Ying and Lu Yuan walking over.
“How many points per time?”
Han Ying spoke directly.
"It's not expensive. It costs 2 credits per trip to transport snow. It's a wooden cart. It can transport about 2 cubic meters of snow per trip."
"Of course, this is calculated on a trip-by-trip basis. If you buy the whole thing, based on the amount of snow in your yard, you'll get 15 points a day."
When he heard someone asking about the price, the corners of Lei Gang's mouth hidden under the mask raised.
He also looked at the roof upstairs. He had just seen it at home. The snow on the roof had also pushed into the yard.
So 15 points are not expensive. After all, based on the amount of snow in their yard, they may not be able to transport it all in 10 trips.
"What about the road outside the wall?"
Lu Yuan did not say whether the price was acceptable, but asked again.
"Outside? It's more expensive outside, after all, you need to hire someone to shovel."
"If you want to make it easier for vehicles to pass through, you should clear at least 3 meters of space around the fence and on the road, right?"
"In this case, 60 points a day, that would give you 70 points in total, what do you think?"
Lei Gang took a look at the two cars in their yard. In fact, he underestimated the distance by 3 meters.
The RV looks quite wide. If it is 3 meters, it might not be very smooth to travel.
If the opponent gives points generously, it would be okay for him to ask people to shovel more to the side.
When they heard that 70 points were required per day, Lei Minghu and others hissed.
They have been staying at home for a long time.
Although he grew a lot of food and had some savings, he kept the food for himself and did not earn any points.
Apart from Han Ying and Lu Yuan, the only ones who earned points were Wu Tingfang and He Xiu who made money from selling tomatoes in the past few months.
So at this time everyone thought that they could actually do the snow shoveling work themselves.
It just takes some time.
"What about a monthly subscription?"
Han Ying didn't care what other people were thinking and asked directly.
This heavy snow is not likely to stop in the short term. Rather than settling payments day by day, it would be more convenient to pay by month.
"Monthly subscription?"
Lei Gang hadn't thought of this, but if it was really a monthly subscription, it would be more stable.
Moreover, this family has plenty of points and a good relationship with the authorities, so he is not afraid that they have no credibility and will not give him points.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I will charge you 1960 points a month, which is based on 28 days. The extra points beyond 28 days a month will be considered as free credits. How do you think?"
In fact, the price this person offered was not high, because even the official snow-clearing team's price was roughly the same.
The other party offered a realistic price, and there seemed to be no room for bargaining, so Han Ying said, "The price is OK, but you need us to shovel the wall to 3.5 meters around and in front of the road."
Everyone was wearing a mask and a hat, so Lei Gang couldn't tell who was who.
But generally people who bargain have the final say, so he agreed and said it was feasible.
Then Lu Yuan added Lei Gang as his communication friend and agreed to start shoveling snow from today. The settlement method would be once a week, 490 points each time.
Lei Gang originally came here to try his luck, but he didn't expect to actually make this deal.
After adding the friend, he went back to call people to collect and shovel the snow.
The snow-clearing team under Lei Gang was also successfully formed today. His brother-in-law is a minor official in the military region.
This snow-clearing team was applied for by his brother-in-law.
Most of the snow shovelers he recruited were recommended by his brother-in-law, and some were people who lived nearby.
After Lei Gang left, everyone continued to shovel snow, but now they just had to shovel the snow outside and didn't have to transport it themselves.
When shoveling snow, Qin Qinghai and Lei Minghu's families suggested that the cost of snow shoveling be shared equally among the three families, but Han Ying refused.
"The points needed to transport snow in the yard will be divided equally among the three of us. As for the points outside, I will ask the mall to reimburse me, so..."
Han Ying didn't finish her words, but everyone understood what she meant.
This means that the two families do not have to pay the points.
"Will this work? After all, we live near this place."
When He Xiu heard Han Ying say to ask the mall for reimbursement, she was still a little worried.
The authorities have already notified us that the main road base will send people to clear the snow every day, but the authorities are not responsible for personal roofs, yards, etc.
"We are different from others. After all, we still have to do business with the mall. This batch of sweet potato leaves has been reserved by the mall. They will have to come and pick them up, right?"
Lu Yuan understood what Han Ying meant. The two of them had no shortage of points. There were plenty of points in their phones and in the space they had.
I don’t spend much on a normal basis, so I should use it when it’s needed.
In fact, Lu Yuan was right to say no. As long as they asked for it, even if the mall did not pay them all the points for snow shoveling, it would at least pay half of it.
But it doesn’t cost that many points in a month, so there’s no need to accept this favor from the mall.
Otherwise, if you want to sell other things in the future, you will be hesitant when negotiating the price with them.
"If the mall doesn't reimburse you, you must tell them and we'll split the bill among the three of us."
Lin Ting threw out a shovel of snow and placed the shovel on the ground with a clanging sound.
It has been seven months since the extreme cold, and the wound on Lin Ting's shoulder has long healed.
The broken bones in Lei Minghu's feet have recovered well, and Lu Yuan will help him check from time to time.
As long as the injured leg is not hit again within a year, he will be able to run and jump a little now.
But it's still better to be careful.
After shoveling all the snow in the yard out, they closed the door and went home.
As soon as we got home, we took off our cold winter clothes or military coats and quickly climbed onto the kang.
I held the hot water bottle and drank a few sips of warm water, and then I regained some consciousness.
